Review for ChildFund International, Richmond, VA, USA
I serve on many non-profit boards but am particularly impressed by ChildFund International and the ChildFund Alliance (which it helped launch) for 3 reasons: (1) the program model is based upon a framework created by research involving affected children, youth and communities; (2) the services and Programs empower beneficiaries to " be all they can be" by helping them live up to their potential, and (3) a special effort is made to develop national and local people as volunteers and staff. ChildFund's focus on the next generation is critically important at a time when the population most developing countries are predominantly young people. Improving their health, education, skills and well being is a proven way to improve themselves, their communities, regions, countries and thereby improving the world in which we all live

personally, I've experienced their projects in Ecuador, Paraguay, Mexico, Uganda, Ethiopia, india and Mozambique and I sponsor a child in Uganda.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
multiply the funding to allow them to replicate their model and also assist them in doing more policy work since they have much to offer others.
